Ridgewood Nj, Ridgewood Police report spray painted graffiti in several locations in the Village of Ridgewood .Is this just criminal mischief as being reported or is it a form of gang tagging. Gangs have long utilized graffiti as a coded means of communication, but to the untrained eye, it looks like mere vandalism.
Ptl. Sean Amoruso responded to the Lakeview Drive leaf dump on a report of Criminal Mischief in the past. Upon arrival a Village of Ridgewood employee reported between November 11 and November 14 an unknown person spray painted graffiti on a village owned shed and tractor.
Ptl. Michael Karcher investigated a report of Criminal Mischief to a Franklin Turnpike business on November 14. Upon arrival the victim reported discovering spray painted graffiti on the exterior of the building. The victim reported there has been recent suspicious activity in the area. The amount of damage is unknown at this time.
Good post PJ. This looks like tagging. There is never a good reason for residents of any municipality to stay silent when suspicious activity is occurring in their neighborhood. Virtue signaling, or a desire to be seen by others as politically correct, is not a good enough reason to remain silent and not drop dime on a creep and his no-good friends.
If anyone thinks Ridgewood is somehow immune from gang activity, you are cocktail sipping delusional.
LETS BUILD THAT GARAGE !!!!!!!
Looks like the work of a bunch of lax players after splitting a case of Busch beer in the cemetery…..
